Speed Up Vista Startup
Most people think that unlike Windows XP, Windows Vista boots up fast to show you the screen desktop. Well, this not entirely true. As an interim to Windows 7, the Vista inherits the same architectural burden of the XP with some slight of hand. You do get to see the desktop with the familiar Vista wallpaper significantly sooner than on the XP. But that’s all. You need to do something to really Speed Up Vista Startup.
Getting the desktop fast but not being to use it until another minute to two betrays the Vista's XP heritage. You can't click any of the icons to launch an app as the OS is still too busy completing its start-up process in the background.
If you manage to load a program while all that is happening, you get a "Not Responding" pop-up. You could go into POST with some BIOS options to speed up the bootstrap operation with fast memory checking, but once the OS is launched, you're a hostage to it. The more applications you have installed, the longer it takes to use the PC from the time you power it up. It is on the OS side where you can speed up vista startup.
What's Taking It So Long? When Vista boots up, it first shows you the desktop screen and load the wallpaper into memory. Then its runs all sorts of services and processes in the background. The services are small chunks of software that proactively aids in using Vista while the OS loads the applications that will be running more frequently. This is I/O intensive process that hogs significant resources that will prevent you from doing anything on the desktop.
There are ways to optimize and speed up Vista start up operations and here are a few:
1. If at the start, you've loaded all the application you need, simply use the PC routinely without doing anything and you can notice it will speed up slightly over the next 3-4 days. That's because routinely launched applications are often cached so that they get to launch faster the next time. Don’t get the itch to install new programs or they will sure add to the start-up times.
2. If you have to add new programs, see to it they don't load on start up. Programs like QuickTime for watching online movie trailers, Adobe Reader to open PDF files as well as antivirus software often end up loaded on start-up. Disable some of them to Speed Up Vista Startup, especially those application icons on the tray.
3. Norton anti-virus software is notorious for eating up a lot of resources when loaded. Disable them on start-up and only launch them when needed after start-up. You can check this by typing "msconfig" in the "Run" menu on the bottom left corner of the screen. It will pop up a table showing you what these services and processes are running on startup and after. You can then uncheck those that you don't and won’t need.
4. Lastly, go into sleep mode instead of shutting down the computer. Your PC may not be server-grade but it may interest you to note that servers are never shut down because the start-up and run-down takes immense toll on the CPU resources every time and can shorten the life of you computer.
If none of the above seems to work, though they often do, you may want to check out the "PC Speed Maximizer" to help you better speed up vista startup. It has a more comprehensive technique for getting the job done.
